If we lose a kid from our backyard that we have been recruiting heavily then just shut down the program. If the staff can’t convince a kid 40 miles away whom they have had down to visit numerous times to commit, then the staff is incompetent. 

Good lord, come on man. Now this is what they’re talking about when they say “take a step back from the ledge”

I think Henry going to MSU helps as well. If we are looking at MSU positives. But let’s be honest. He is a 45 minute drive to Assembly Hall. His parents will easily be able to visit him on more than just gameday. That’s huge.

He should be. He is a Hall of Fame coach. We have to highlight what we can in these battles. Obviously he is saying come play for a hall of fame coach. Pretty enticing for kids. We are close to home. Have world class facilities. Excellent academics. Coaching staff with various abilities and have worked out many College players training for the NBA combine or summer league. Non stop history. At this point we can’t point to a hall of fame coach. Hopefully in the future we can. That helps a lot in this area. A lot of good coaches.

From someone that has coached college basketball in Michigan it is well known in college circles up there that Izzo does and gets away with some shady stuff.

I graduated the same year as Zach Randolph. To that point he was Izzo’s first true NBA blue chip prospect. This is a small area. Zach’s family was not rich. He had uncles work with my dad at Dana in Marion. Let’s just say the Escalade with rims stood out at Marion.

 

Edit: The same one he got arrested for twice while in high school. One for weapons and the other for weed and never once did it get questioned.

Been saying this about Izzo for years. Branden Dawson is another example. There are others as well.

Izzo just pays less than Kansas, UK, Duke and some others. Next level pay rate. [emoji23]

I actually met him at Sectional in ‘98-99 season. He was a nice dude and had fun with the students from both sides. HNHS with Sean Kline played Marion with Randolph. HNHS students all had white boy gangster outfits with toy guns after his arrest. Marion fans brought huge blow up balls. That was cause there was a person that had just got arrested for castrating a lot people for various reasons in a motel over time. Izzo was personable, but Kline already committed to RMK. It was a pro IU crowd and Izzo got no mercy. The concession was by the only exit into the old gym he stood by the whole game. He heard it all game. Kline had himself a game and carried HNHS past Marion for the first time in years. Good times.

I also heard that Randolph didn't even take an SAT because Izzo told him not to worry about it because they would get him in.

That I don’t know about and hadn’t heard. Not to say it didn’t happen. Wouldn’t surprise me. I was a kid that was the same age as him. Lol I knew he drove an Escalade on rims and thought he was the hardest dude around when he came into town (parties). That’s why I loved his bullies got bullied line on ESPN this week.

Brazndon was Gary I believe. My uncle was a math administrator in the Gary schools. Don't ask me why he stayed but he said Glen Robinson could barely read. Yet purdue got him in. Go figure.
